So i had almost the same exact experience as last...
so i had almost the same exact experience as last time, but because of the deeper peel and microdermabrasion i was itchy and burning the first night so it was difficult to sleep so i just took some tylenol pm. the next day it was fine. just like the first peel i started to peel around my mouth at night and the next day came the sloughing. by thursday though it was mostly over although my skin seems to still be peeling but barely. the spots are definitely lighter. i am biting the bullet and doing the recommended 3 peels. i will do the next peel three weeks from the second one, i want my skin to heal a bit more than last time. overall, so far, i am happy and i want to wait until i see the post pictures.

It has been over a week and my skin is breaking out. I got pictures taken by the aesthetician last friday so that when i go in on wednesday to get my second peel i can see exactly how much change has happened. it is hard because since i am getting used to my face and its new color i cannot tell if they have gone back or if i have just adjusted to how i look. perception is a hard thing to navigate. so i will know way more when i see the before and after pictures. i am getting another peel wednesday and will update then!

i have melasmas on my upper lip and on each part of my face aside my nose but not on my nose. they are quite big. i have been using retin-a and hydroquinine for 6 months and that did lighten them but i went to both a plastic surgeon and a dermatologist and they both said the only thing that would make a drastic change is chemical peels. i had my first Vi Peel Friday, it is a new one aimed at melasmas. i was fine, didn't hurt too much, nor after but i am mixed race and don't tend to burn (mixed indian, as in from india, and white). i applied the pads at night, again nothing bad. day 2, same same, my face a bit red and tight, then at night i started peeling around my mouth. i continued and put the second round of pads. today is day three and im peeling. the melasmas are not as faded as i hoped but they are lighter, i will be getting another peel in two weeks. if there are more results from that i may get a third. we shall see. my skin definitely looks healthier.
